Janet-- Do you have the regimental history from Broadfoot? The Confederate Research Center at Hillsboro has copied the histories from Broadfoot, also from another unpublished author, and they have a vertical file on each Texas regiment. I'll check the next time I go. I don't know when it will be, maybe a month or two. The problem is--if the muster rolls (which are headed up with the place of muster and date) were lost on the battlefield, they are gone forever. Also, some Confederate regiments burned theirs to keep them from falling into Yankee hands, right, Gerry? Some Texas regiments have never had a history written, more than you would guess. I am working on the 24th, not to do a published history, but just so I will be able to understand what happened. I think I already have collected more material than anyone ever has. Someone has to take an interest in a regiment, and very few are interested in the lesser-known regiments. If the men weren't "heroes" in some big battle, the world forgets about them. Sad, but true. I'm sure Steven has added immeasurably to the history of his Mississippi regiment. Kudos, Steve!
